Conan, I'm an actor

As the mask was knocked away, the head disappeared behind the rocks. When Gin arrived, all that was left was a blood-stained shirt and a white mask with several bullet holes; the person in question had vanished.

Using the flash of Glock's gunshot, Vodka clearly saw that the other man had been shot in the head, and he immediately rushed over.

Gin's clothes now had several bullet holes, indicating that he had clearly suffered considerable losses during the raid.

"Is this the old guy?" Vodka asked, looking at Kawashima floating on the sea.

"The bullet entered from the upper left. This guy was shot in the temple. He's the unlucky guy Chianti took down." Gin coughed up blood as he spoke. The bulletproof vest stopped the bullet, but the impact also caused considerable damage to his internal organs.

Seeing his older brother in this state, Vodka immediately helped Gin to the makeshift dock and dialed the number on the yacht to arrange for their pickup. However, a question lingered in his mind: how had that guy escaped? He clearly saw a gunshot wound to the guy's head; was it just the mask that was hit?

Several tens of minutes later, Shinjo, soaking wet, was dragged onto the speedboat by Asagi and Ochiai. At this moment, two bullets were embedded in his left forehead, Gin's handiwork.

Conan stared at the metallic structure beneath the skin, a look of shock on his face. Could it be that Shinjo is a robot?

“Don’t look. 70% of the left side of my body is made of metal prostheses, including organs like the heart and lungs.” Xincheng leaned against the speedboat. “During the plane crash, I inhaled too much smoke, which caused my cardiopulmonary failure. In addition, half of my body was comminuted fractured, and there were no suitable salvaged parts, so I had to be replaced with experimental parts. Fortunately, my brain was not damaged; I just had half of my skull replaced with a metal one.”

"So those rejection drugs are actually..."

“It’s because of these metal prosthetics.” Shinjo raised his hand. “If it weren’t for these things, I might not have dared to risk my life against Gin. How’s it going with Kogoro Mouri? The organization has really mobilized all its forces this time. If we can gamble them on the island, their influence in Japan will be completely wiped out.”

Chapter 34 The Aftermath of the Moonshadow Island Incident

"They set off three and a half hours ago, but the captain who is familiar with the route got drunk, and the new captain isn't familiar with the route or the underwater reefs, so they can only slowly navigate here with the help of the sailors." Conan's lips twitched. Relying on this bunch of incompetent teammates would only lead to disaster sooner or later.

"This is to be expected. I hope Kogoro Mouri can pull it together," Shinjo said with a smile. "Otherwise, all my efforts will have been in vain."

"Uncle Kogoro, he..." Conan opened his mouth, but didn't finish his sentence.

Having gone out with Kogoro Mouri so many times, this famous detective had given up all hope for Kogoro Mouri's abilities.

"The two snipers on the mountain are named Chianti and Cohen. They are two of the most skilled snipers in the organization," Shinjo said with a smile. "Judging from the gunshots, they should be using PSG-1 high-precision sniper rifles."

"Is there a problem with this?" Conan was clearly puzzled.

“A sniper rifle is not a pistol. This alone is enough to lock onto a very small area.” Shinjo pulled the bullet out of his arm. “The PSG-1 high-precision sniper rifle is too expensive and rare. Most of them are in the hands of private collectors and military and police.”

"This……"

"This gun is great in every way, except for one drawback: the ejection force is too strong, and some spent casings will land more than 10 meters away, often making them difficult to find. If Kogoro Mori is fast enough, those two snipers shouldn't have time to collect the spent casings. By analyzing the spent casings in conjunction with the bullet, we can lock the target into a very small area."

"However, these two sniper rifles may not have been purchased privately by the sniper."

"Then the buyer is also a member of the organization, or someone connected to the organization. It shouldn't be a problem to get to the organization through this line."

"But they're still on the island. At most half an hour later, the main police force will be there..."

“You better pray that Inspector Megure doesn’t use too much force.” Shinjo rolled over. “The Metropolitan Police Department’s main force is still using short-barreled revolvers. The other side has two PSG-1s and an unknown number of heavy weapons. If they clash, the police will definitely be at a disadvantage.”

"Then why did you call the police? Didn't you even give them a heads-up beforehand?" Conan complained before falling silent.

Xincheng just glanced at him and said nothing more. The long distance of 3 kilometers had left his body, which was not used to exercise, very tired. What he needed most now was to rest.

Before we knew it, it was the next morning.

The hillside and beach were now cordoned off, the bullet heads served as crucial evidence, and Mr. Kawashima's body had been taken away. Also taken were Nishimoto, Hirata, and the piano from the community center.

Because firearms were involved, Inspector Megure of the First Investigation Division called for backup. From then on, there was no longer any involvement from detectives like Kogoro Mouri. However, Shinjo, the "witness" to last night's gunfight, did not escape.

Based on his and Nishimoto's descriptions, the current village chief, Kuroiwa, hired assassins to kill Kawashima and Nishimoto in order to secure his re-election as village chief and continue his monopoly on the island's businesses. As for the group of men in black, the police deduced they were a group seeking to seize control of illicit profits.

Just as they were about to continue their investigation, the police intervened and took over the case, bringing it to a close.

The Metropolitan Police Department's top brass had no objection to this. If the other party only had a pistol, they might have gone all out, but now that it was confirmed that the other party had two sniper rifles, this hot potato was best left to whoever wanted to take it.

"Damn it, I don't feel like I'm involved in this at all," Yue Shui complained. "It feels like every step of the way was meticulously planned out for me. Little brother, do you ever feel that way?"

"Ah, um, I feel the same way." Although Conan was complaining, he was clearly thinking about something else.

From the very beginning, Shinjo seemed to want to kick him out, and he seemed to have considered the possibility that he wouldn't give up, so he summoned the Black Organization to make him hesitate and prevent him from getting too involved in the Moonshadow Island incident.

Now that the Black Organization has arrived, it's inevitable that they'll cause a ruckus on the island.

But why did they get involved at that time? Could it be related to his attire?

If that's really the case, then was the Metropolitan Police Department's lateness also arranged by this Mr. Shinjo?

So, what is the truth behind the Moonshadow Island incident? And what is the secret of that piano?

Right now, only Shinjo and Dr. Sungsik should know. Since Uncle Shinjo is unwilling to tell him, then we can only ask Dr. Sungsik.

Meanwhile, in the piano display room of the community center

"It's all over," Asagi said softly as he heard the door open. "I want to be alone here."

"I've removed the ignition device from inside the community center, and I've moved the gasoline cans out as well." Xincheng leaned against the door. "If you're thinking of committing suicide, you're probably out of luck today."

“Preparing these things was a lot of trouble.” Asagi sighed. “My only wish and my mission was to avenge my father and the others. Now that it’s all over, I should go find them. Asagi, the spirit of the dead, should return to where he belongs.”

"It's not over yet, here you go."

"This is... sheet music?" Asagi took the sheet music and was also taken aback.

"The fire at the Aso family's house left nothing but these sheet music pieces kept in the safe." Shinjo stretched his neck. "Your father and son's way of communicating is quite unique. It took me a long time to decipher this code."

Looking at the notes on the sheet music, Asagi Minori seemed to have all her strength drained away, and collapsed to the ground.

“Blessings or curses, it doesn’t matter.” Shinjo lit a cigarette and placed it in front of Narumi. “Running away won’t solve anything.”

Dr. Chengshi took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and the next second, he started coughing violently. It seemed to be his first time smoking, and he didn't know how.

“You can’t stay on Moonshadow Island any longer. Kuroiwa Tatsuji has been taken away, but his daughter, Kuroiwa Reiko, and the Kuroiwa family still wield considerable influence on the island. The Kawashima and Nishimoto families definitely want to know the truth about what happened that day. As the only one who knows the truth, you’ll face endless harassment afterward,” Shinjo said with a smile. “Want to come to Tokyo with me?”

“My clinic is here,” Chengshi replied, her eyes looking confused.

At this moment, he had lost all purpose in life; the clinic seemed to be the only thing he owned.

“Come with me. I’ll switch you to a different hospital instead of a clinic,” Shinjo said directly. “It won’t be long before I have a hospital, and I happen to need someone to manage it. You can take on that role.”

"Why me?" Cheng Shi looked up.

"Just because you didn't betray me, and as you saw, when you're facing those guys, gunfire is inevitable. If someone gets shot, it'll be troublesome for the other doctors to handle, and there's a risk of leaks. Your words are perfect."

Chapter 35 The Riddle of Cocktail Names

Shinjo and his friends were the second to last to leave the island. Conan and Kogoro Mouri had already left. Conan, who was discovered to have secretly landed on the island, was immediately punished by Uncle Mouri's iron fist. If it weren't for Professor Agasa stopping him, he would have had at least three or five more bumps on his head.

On the ship, when Koshimi learned that Dr. Narumi was going to Tokyo to join Shinjo and take over a private hospital, Koshimi was devastated.

“You never seem to have told me you own a private hospital,” Yue Shui said, her gaze fixed intently on Xin Cheng.

"No?" Shinjo replied somewhat awkwardly.

"No! If I did, I wouldn't be using my student grant to subsidize the detective agency!"

"Then you probably didn't ask," Shinjo said, rubbing his nose somewhat awkwardly.

Just then, his phone rang. After glancing at the number, he hung up immediately.

Anyone with a brain knows that a call from Vermouth is bound to be bad news.

However, the person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to be giving up. When Shinjo and his team arrived at the detective agency, they called again.

Shin-joo went straight into his room, plugged in the charging cable for his heart, and then answered the phone.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Has something serious happened?" Xincheng asked with a grin.

"What happened on Moonshadow Island? Why did you lure the organization's people there?" Vermouth asked, frowning. "Since you chose to expose your identity, does that mean our deal is null and void?"

"The situation on Moonshadow Island is a bit complicated. That kid from the Kudo family wants to get in the way, so I have no choice but to recruit the organization to cause him some trouble. I'll also let him see the organization's strength and stop him from chasing after Gin all day and losing his life." Shinjo said with a smile. "As for the latter, all the clauses regarding Jiang Xiaobai faking his death are null and void. I'll need you to keep an eye on those two from the Miyano family."

"Are you kidding me!" Vermouth said, somewhat annoyed. "Isn't Miyano Akemi already in your hands? As long as she doesn't cause trouble, no one in the organization will touch her."

“That would be best.” Shinjo stretched his shoulders. “I have another question: has the organization tampered with the assets I left behind?”

“I don’t know.” Vermouth swirled her glass. “We don’t care about your wealth, but I don’t know about Rum. He doesn’t seem to believe you’re dead and thinks you’ll come back to reclaim your wealth, so we can’t rule out the possibility that he’s planted someone in there.”

"I see."

"I think Martini suits me better than Sazerac."

"If I could, I'd choose either the sidecar or the old square." Xincheng said, then hung up the phone, turned it off, and tossed it onto the bed.

If the Riddler is truly comfortable, Vermouth will probably ponder this for a long time. Before she makes a decision, she should be able to live a quiet, ordinary life for a while.

Vermouth, on the other side, frowned and set her glass down. The Sazerac was a cocktail made of cognac and absinthe; her meaning was clear: she didn't want to work with this madman anymore.

However, Jiang Xiaobai's answer was noteworthy, or rather, the two cocktails he mentioned were noteworthy.

A sidecar is a cocktail made with cognac as its base spirit. However, over time, the base spirit for sidecars has changed from cognac to brandy. There are two brands in the organization that use brandy as their code name. One is Calvados, which is apple brandy, and the other is Pisco, which is Peruvian brandy.

Calvados is a decent sniper, but not good enough; that guy probably wouldn't even consider him. Could it be that he's eyeing Pisco's position and wants to take his place? Or perhaps he wants to become the leader of the Japanese region?

Although Gin is currently the head of the Japanese region, Pisco holds a high position within the organization and has been operating there for a long time. Some members of the organization, such as Ireland, don't care about Gin. Even Gin can't do anything to Pisco unless he has done something wrong, let alone a newcomer like him who "just joined" the organization, unless he has something on Pisco.

As for Vieux Carré, it is made from rye whiskey, cognac, vermouth and d'oar. There are no members in the organization with the code name d'oar, but d'oar is also an insignificant existence. What Vermouth cares about is rye whiskey.

She didn't want to get involved with that dangerous guy again, especially with that bastard around.

[Reward: Transfiguration (Infernal Affairs)]

[Reward: The List of Criminals (James Moriarty)]

As if electrocuted, Xincheng, who was lying on the bed, jumped up from the bed.

Because his trip to Moonshadow Island was too rushed, and he wasn't sure if he could save Asagi, he didn't use the system's custom script. He didn't have high hopes for the system's rewards, but who knew that the main storyline would give him such an unexpected surprise.

The so-called shapeshifting is an upgraded version of disguise; he can disguise himself as anyone in the world, as long as he has seen them, in a short period of time.

As he thought about it, tiny nanobots appeared on his left prosthetic arm. A moment later, he transformed into the likeness of Koshimizu Nanatsuki. Apart from being slightly taller than Koshimizu Nanatsuki, there were no other flaws to be seen.

He then transformed into Kogoro Mouri, Asami Narumi, and Shinichi Kudo. Except for the fact that transforming into someone shorter than himself would reveal a flaw in his height, he was practically flawless in every other way. It could be said to be the most suitable equipment for a secret agent.

The list of criminals is a network with a world map interface. Clicking on a specific area will display the list of criminals, their crimes, and incriminating evidence. The criminals on this list are all highly skilled; some are extremely ruthless, while others possess a unique skill. Even the least criminal on the list has three lives on their hands.

If you were a police officer, using this criminal list, you could easily rise to the rank of Superintendent General. If you were a criminal, the information on the list could be used to control most of the criminals, forming a criminal network.

Shinjo wasn't interested in these things, and he had no ambition to become the King of the Night in Japan, so the website remained idle. However, he never imagined that this website would soon bring him such immense benefit.
